The government withdrew the amendment that planned to deny Zeta and Tivat revenues from airport concessions

The Government of Montenegro, at an electronic session today, abandoned the proposal for amendments to the Law on Financing Local Self-Government, which planned to give municipalities in whose territories the state grants concessions for airports, ports and roads only 70 percent of the concession fee that the state takes from the buyer, instead of 20 percent.

The municipalities of Tivat and Zeta protested this amendment because the Podgorica and Tivat airports are located on their territories, for which a tender procedure is underway, and the tender commission is required to prepare a report and submit it to the Government by Monday.
